      CS Exchange shutting down

      Hate to be the bearer of bad news. Picked up a firearm earlier today and Mr. Sykes informed me he is no longer accepting transfers or processing applications. We chatted for a bit and in a nutshell, at his age he can no longer keep up with the workload all by himself. Once he gets caught up on...

      As long as it doesn't have a threaded barrel. Email LT Hall with the spec sheet and he'll let you know if you can register.

      Glad I saw your post :thumbsup: - I was about to make a purchase online. Anyone know how long area FFLs are willing to hold long guns for DC residents?

      Thanks. I meant AG not DA. He's not exactly a fan of 2A.

      DC registration wait time

      DC law requires a mandatory 10 day wait time between firearm purchase and release to the owner. It's called a "cooling off period" to prevent anyone from purchasing a firearm to immediately do harm to themselves or someone else - anger, revenge, crimes of passion etc.
